BB10 Wrap Party! Wow! Ahhh! OMG! WTF??
Current mood: anxious

Okay, so most of you know that Chelsia from BB9 invited me this year to the wrap party. What a doll. She's AWESOME! I don't care what people think about this girl, she's been nothing but generous and kind to me. How can you fault anyone for that? The BB house makes people do weird things, and as soon as they leave, they get a fresh start with me. The only negative thing I can about this bitch is that she ran the **** late for the wrap party. BUT, I forgave her 1 millisecond after arriving at the CBS Studios lot. Hel,l Parker got there around 11pm, so....

So, we're walking up to the wrap party and I have no idea what to expect. NO IDEA! I see that it's an outdoor event and it was a nice, warm evening. First thing on both sides of the entrance is two of the airplanes used for the last HOH comp. "I'm so gonna get on one of those before I leave." -Chelsia.

So we all walk in together - Chelsia, Me, Josh, Sharon and her date. And the first table to our right, after the entrance, was Brian's "group" - Steven - Angie - and their friends. Which they ALL ROCK. Not the HGs, but their friends. Angie's friend AHHHHH her name escapes me and Brian's friend. They are both very cool people. Thanks, guys! So I said hi to them - Chelsia motored ahead of me and she was gone. Which is cool, but I was going to play up the "Trail Chelsia Like A Puppydog Routine"! haha!

So I'm about crapping my pants right about now, everyone is looking at everyone as they walked by. Who's here? Who is he with? Which show is he from? Do I know you? As I'm making my way through the crowd, I hear "Phil! PHIL!" There are spotlights everywhere so it was touch seeing everyone's faces at first. And guess who was excitedly shouting out my name? Nick Starcevic! This guy is so damn cool, you have no idea. I'm glad I got to know him through the past year - he really is a great guy.

And of course, not standing too far, was the ever so glowing Jen Johnson. We hugged it out for 10 seconds or more! Nick didn't mind. So as I'm saying my hellos to them, I see Memphis OMG! I see Dan! OMG! So I just walked up and introduced myself and said hello to them. And there to my right were Monica and Kelly. Kelly and I had corresponded through e-mails before the party, so she knew I would be there. I hate saying it, but I had to introduce myself as "TheRealDeal". Well, let me just tell you, her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree! hahaha! She is so sweet. Kelly rocks! Monica is so nice. Two great girls. Dan's lucky to have such beautiful women surrounding him.

So I'm working my way "around the room", and I always make sure that I bump into Nick and Jen - they're just too much fun. There was a cookie cart to my right, and Churro cart to my left. The buffet line was long. We Chelsia and I got in it. The BB10 cast was located right there along the line, so I got to see Keesha, Libra, April, Ollie on the way to the food. I met Tonya (who is a BB fan and who has contacted me via myspace) Very nice lady. One of Sheila's fans that I met this year, I finally met in person. Very cool guy. Rich is his name. I think we're hooking up for photos soon.

So as we're walking back to our table with our food, we run into the one and only Daniele Donato. Me: "You suck." Her: "No, you suck, obviously." Gave her a hug and off we go to chow. There as I'm eating... Joe Barber BB8 is sitting next to me. "OH! So you're the mysterious TheRealDeal!" Haha. "So let me get this straight, if you're not breathtaking beautiful, you don't take their pictures??" OMG! I had to explain to him it's his own fault for being voted out so soon. Ha! He's dying for a photo shoot! We'll see!

So I see Evel Dick come in and he's with Daniele, so I quckly jumped up for a photo. They obliged. I saw that Jerry was kinda standing alone with his daughter to the side and I had to go and say hello. We talked a bit about the show, how he felt and then he introduced me to his wife. Awww, Jerry! I went back to Evel and told him he need to go give some love to Jerry. "**** that." he said. I told him I loved his interview with April and Ollie. He wasn't sure how much they aired and was shocked to learn the "Cum on me" question was left in. He was pleased.

Okay, I'll give Dan this - he loves Monica. He NEVER left her side. He pretty much ended up at one spot all night. Which probably sucked for him, but that did not allow me to get any pics with him and let's say Renny or Keesha, because they, too, never left their area, and they were kinda far from one another. I didn't get to talk to Keesha much, but I can tell she was overwhelmed. She pretty much stayed seated at her table most of the night. Along with Renny when she wasn't cutting a rug. Renny is SO AWESOME. I was always winking at her as she was talking to certain peeps, and when I first approached her with Chelsia, she says to Chelsia, "Who's this guy?" haha.

So I go get in line for a drink (h20) TheRealDeal doesn't drink. And out of the bathroom comes Angie. He eyes light up and she gives me a hug and says she LOVES the pictures and was going on and on about them. Yay! She is most awesomeest of the awesomeness!

I can always count on Nick for being there for me. He was there for me. A supporter. A friend. And we even shared a dance move or two. Imagine two goofballs doing the robot! My God.

I didn't get to talk to Dan too much, only congrats and such. He seemed really overwhelmed by everything.

And then there I see Gretchen from Housecalls, so I introduced myself and she was sweet. Just a quick hello and goodbye.

And then I see Marcellous (I think that's how you spell his friggin' name), so I approached him because he denied me as a "friend" on myspace 3 times, and I *thought* it was because he knew my mean videos from the past, but nope, he told me that he went through a phase and denied a lot of people because he wasn't sure if he wanted BB fans on his site, etc. And then I said, "Yeah, but you sought me out recently and requested me." He was, "I did??" Yep. You must know my photography. He laughed. He was very nice and open to conversation. I'm sad to read what he said about my Janelle, though. That she wasn't deserving of favorite juror during All Stars. Shame on you!

Memphis was way cool and kick back. I approached him a couple of times when he was being photographed with Sheila and I whispered in his ear, "She wanted Dan to win." Haha! And vice versa when she was taking pics with Dan. She was saying, "No Phil! No! Not true!" hahaa! Sheila cracks me up. Memphis was pretty much solo the whole night, as far as I saw. Ashley & Monica and a splash of Kelly pretty much hung out all night.

The gag reel was hilarious. At first I really didn't want to record it, but I just couldn't help myself. I love this ****. Most of it pretty funny. I loved how they stole my Renny as the Joker bit. I'm flattered. OR, just Great Minds Think Alike. I'll take both. Jerry puking was the highlight of the reel for me. The whole crowd "UUUGGGH!!!EEEWWW!"

I met up with Daniele a lot during the evening - just talking about life. I'm sure she felt a little weird with Nick and Jen there, but that would be very natural if she did. I couldn't help but call on her for photo ops with certain people. I mean, look at her. BEAUTIFUL! She was having a good time. I'm glad she came to me on a few accounts to talk. Many hugs were exchanged that night. So much so, she uh.. re-agreed FINALLY to our long awaited third photo shoot. And it will be special. KNOW THAT!

And of course on the other end of the spectrum, I'm sure it was weird for Nick and Jen. Me? I would make light of the situation and ask if it was cool if we can get a group shot of all of them. And I was kidding!! Jen was cool. She's over it. And I can't help it that Nick is so enamored with me. I can't shake him. Constantly calling me.

All kidding aside, I'm glad Daniele showed up for the wrap party. She really is fun to hang out with. I love her wit.

One little fun tidbit about Nick that night. Jen wanted a picture with the Big Brother 10 logo on the big screen and there was a guy filming a spot for some show. And he totally told Jen to get out of his shot (kinda) and Nick is so funny "Dude, let her take her picture and get the **** out of the way." (well, he didn't really say that, but it sounds good to me) Nick: "Dude, she's on the show! She can take her picture where ever she wants!" I LOVED IT! So much, that I walked away! haha! Nick's too cool for school.

Okay, so who (NON BB) was at this party that I recognized but didn't approach? Well, I was introduced to one of them and he starred in one of my favorite sitcoms EVER in the history of television.. "Freaks & Geeks" Samm Levine. Very nice guy. I gushed all over him. I loved that show.

I also saw Ross The Intern from the Leno show. Shannon Elizabeth of course. Chi Chi or Chu Chu Laroo? I forget his/her name. He/She was cool We talked myspace for a bit. Ross was on the go for most of the night and I only really saw him once, so no pictures.

All the BB10 peeps pretty much stayed to themselves and whoever was around them. April and Ollie moved around. Michelle moved around. Jessie moved around.

Speaking of Michelle... she was one of my favs from the show. I kept bugging her all night. Chelsia introduced me to her initially and all I kept telling her was that I loved her competitiveness. As I passed by her during the evening, I would say, "You're GREAT!" She laughed. We walked arm and arm for 12 seconds. That was cool. Brian hates that I like her. Oh well. haha. She posed for me on the diary room chair. She's fun.

Brian was up and down every which way last night, so I couldn't keep up with him and photos too much. Angie the same - up and down here and there. She got busy on the dance floor too. Mugging for my little Sony camera. She's too funny.

Jessie is cool. His girlfriend is HOT! We talked about her and Chelsia's link together. He says he was so young when he talked to her, he really can't remember much about it.

I met Libra. Very nice. Tall. Beautiful. Her hubby... big guy. Watch out! I said to her, "How about you and Jerry for a picture?" (kidding) She ran real quick! haha. "Hell no." is what I think I heard, but not sure. Smile

I don't get all the hate for April - She was SO nice to me. We talked for a bit. Told her I might be going to Arizona in December, so she wants to hang out - perhaps accidentally snapping a few photos. We'll see. Ollie's cool. He was chill. As Daniele was talking to him, I would come up and say something to distract them - Daniele would laugh and Ollie said, "And who is this guy?" She said, "TheFakeDeal" without missing a beat. Daniele rocks.

Matty & BALLER! They never left each other's side! I asked Adam in front of Matt at one time "Hey! where's your girlfriend? Oh here he is." Matt just laughed and kinda walked away. Too funny. Matt was cool We talked photos. I'll give the guy one thing, he has a great face. He does. I'm sorry. Short guy. Adam was adam. I said hello to his bro.

Lisa! Lisa! BB3! OMG! How awesome was that! I got to meet her real quick. I loved her on her season, and was so happy she won over.... uh.. yeah.

I met Erika - she be chilin' talking about her casting job she still has. I had forgotten until she reminded me.

James Rhine. It really is nice to actually know these guys and I can just go up and B.S. or whatever. I would bug him all night. And he would bug me. "Hey, can you take a picture for me! You are a photographer right?" I was his bitch for a little bit there. James has always been cool to me. This night was no different. I was bugging him and Daniele, trying to put their hands together. Secretly, they LOVED IT!

I saw Mike BB8, said hello to him, but not much else. I mean, come on... Nevermind. He drives a nice car, that's for sure. And he was very helpful with getting Daniele safely to her car. She might have had a beer or two.

I would bump into Chelsia every now and again just to bug her. She was cool. We gossip'd. Oh, yeah. And when Crazy James and her were talking, I JOKINGLY tried to put their faces together for a kiss. I'm an idiot like that. They laughed. They're still friends. It's nice. James cast is off his arm. He says it still hurts. Tender. Saw his new tat. Didn't talk much. I saw him talking to the one and only Jokerette from Jokers later on in the evening, and I knew she didn't know who I was, but I knew who she was. Oh, yeah.

I approached her and she looked at me not knowing who I was. I waited until her conversation was over and introduced myself. "Hi, I'm TheRealDeal." She truly reacted in a sincere way and reached out to me for a hug. I gave her one. I like Jokerette. She's been nothing but nice to me. I gave her the manditory "Thanks for banning me" look and she quickly came back, "It wasn't me! I was out of town!" I told her I know. I understand. She was with someone else from the site and I'm sorry I didn't recognize your screen name!! Thank you for the nice words.

So as I'm making my way through the crowd at the end of the night, I hear Evel Dick scream my name! He wanted a picture OF COURSE, of three BB winners. "Here's a lot of money." (ED, Lisa & Dan) My pleasure.

Now, before I end this ridiculously long-ass blog, two very special things happened to me at the end of my night.

One - I friggin got down on the dance floor with Angie (mind you for 23 seconds), but she was all dirty dancing on me! haha! My head was spinning at this point. SPINNING!
Thank you Angie for being you. You're so damn wonderful. Stunning, to boot.

Two - Daniele Donato was actually in my car at the end of the night. Well, not like that. I wanted to make sure she left her car in a safe place before she head out with Chelsia to The Abbey. That's where a lot of these BB folks ended up. Me? Not my style. So we drove briefly from one street to another. Dropped her car off. Drove her back to Chelsia. One last hug. "Thanks for everything." she says.

And that was that. What a night.
